but I can't help thinking about my old WWII fishing partner every time I see it..Warren is now 89 years old and just bought a new jon boat. He has grit & a positive attitude.



Robert Whiting,
an elderly gentleman of 83,
arrived in Paris by plane.
At French Customs,
he took a few minutes to locate his passport in
his carry on.


"You have been to France before, Monsieur?"
the customs officer asked
sarcastically.


Mr. Whiting
admitted that he had been to France
previously.


"Then you should know enough
to have your passport ready."


The American said,
"The last time I was here,
I didn't have to show it."


"Impossible..
Americans always have to show their passports on
arrival in France !"


The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look.
Then, he quietly explained,
''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on
D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country,
I couldn't find a single Frenchman
to show a passport to."

You
could have heard a pin drop.
